Abstract

Background: Currently, considerable inconsistencies are apparent in Nursing Information on Perioperative Care given to patients on their condition, surgery and its outcome during the hospital stay. When this was evidently witnessed by the Investigator, a study was conducted with the aim to find out the effectiveness of Perioperative Nursing Information on Postoperative Outcome and level of satisfaction among patients undergoing selected surgeries. Methodology: A true experimental with pretest posttest, control group design was used to conduct the study at R.L.J Hospital & R C, Kolar. Probability simple random sampling technique (Lottery Method) was adopted in order to select the samples of 400 patients who were planned to undergo surgery and who fulfilled the selection criteria. Samples were divided into 200 experimental and 200 control group randomly. The pre-test data was collected from experimental and control group using validated knowledge questionnaire, observational checklists and modified Aldrete scale  along with Likert Satisfaction Scale consisting of 35 items which emphasized on the patient satisfaction, through interview method on one to one basis. After pre-test Perioperative Nursing Information on postoperative outcome was given to experimental group. Level of satisfaction was assessed on the day of discharge in both experimental and control group.
